Chrome support was added in HttpWatch 11.0 but automation was not be available until HttpWatch 11.1 was released. There're more information about the Chrome support in this blog post:

Chrome extension API for daily extension installs

How to test ChromeOS enterprise features during development?

I am working on a Chrome extension running on Chrome OS.
The extension needs the enterprise.hardwarePlatform permission to be able to get hardware information about the device.
The question is: How can I test my extension?
After installing the extension manually, the API to get the hardware information will not work as it needs the extension to be forced-installed by the enterprise policy.
But how to force-install the extension if it is not published in the Chrome Web Store?
Google Workspace seems to allow to refer only to published extensions in the enterprise policy. But obviously I do not want to publish the extension under development. Also I didn't find a "Web Store for development" where I could upload the extension and then refer to it from the policy.
So how to do this?
I found this question:
https://support.google.com/chrome/a/thread/107510644/how-do-i-develop-a-chrome-extension-with-enterprise-permissions?hl=en-gb
However, did not find the answer in any of the provided links. All information seem to point to publishing on Chrome Web Store first. But then would it be impossible to manually test a feature like this before publishing?
Thank you for your answers in advance.

How to add extensions to Chrome's dedicated DevTools for NodeJS

I am using this awesome extension to debug ImmutableJS data structures in my Redux app. All is peachy debugging when running in the browser but once I boot up dedicated DevTools for NodeJS to attach a debugger to my Jest test runner process I don't have any of my extensions.
How can I add extensions to the dedicated DevTools for NodeJS?
I just asked the DevTools team at our weekly meeting about this. This scenario isn't really supported. You can file a request at https://crbug.com. Please include a detailed description of what you're trying to do. Others, please star the issue once it's created to help us prioritize this request.

Example of Chrome and Firefox Extensions sharing the same code?

I am looking for a sample project that would compile a chrome and firefox extension that would run some JavaScript code after a page is loaded.
I already wrote a Chrome extension that does this, but I am looking for something cross-browser, that would allow me to build the same extension for Chrome and Firefox.
If this would also allow me to publish the extensions it would be great.
You may refer this link http://www.extensionfactory.com/labs/conversion/
Here you can get firefox extension by submitting chrome extension.
With the Crossrider's framework you can build a cross-browser extension using only one code base that will work on Chrome, Firefox and also Internet Explorer and Safari.
So, with only using javascript single code base and the Crossrider API you can easily build your first cross-browser extension in no time.
(Disclosure: I work at Crossrider)

How should a web developer approach building a Browser toolbar?

I am a web developer looking to build a browser extension. What is the best way to build browser extensions using web technologies (HTML, Javsacript, etc). We are targeting IE and Firefox only. Can IE browser toolbars be created using HTML/Javascript?
There is a bit of confusion here. Your question title says you are looking to develop a "Browser Toolbar", but in the question body itself you are asking about "Browser Extensions".
Its important to understand that in general Browser Toolbars are a subset of a Browser Extension. If you are indeed looking though to develop a Cross Browser Extension and not a toolbar I would really recommend the use of Crossrider - a development framework for cross-browser extensions.
They do not allow you develop toolbars, but they do have an online IDE and an extensive API to build cross-browser extensions for Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari with basic knowledge of JavaScript and jQuery.
Have a look at this article where they discuss using HTML and Javascript to build an extension for firefox.
